BACKGROUND: The Water & Sewer Department currently owns two derrick/boom trucks, a large 1997 GMC Altec and a smaller 1994 Ford F-550. However, recent upgrades to Water & Sewer facilities, including the construction of new sewer pumping stations, require a greater lifting and reach capacity than currently offered by the existing 1997 Altec. There is now a critical need for a larger boom truck capable of pulling large pumps and other appurtenances. The requested piece of equipment is not budgeted for FY2013 and is estimated to cost $170,000.00. Funding within the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund is available and, with BCC approval, will be transferred to the appropriate Capital Outlay account for procurement. Due to the award of Planning Assistance for States (PAS) grants from the US Army Corps of Engineers, as well as delays in the acquisition of land by the NW FL Water Management District, all of the funds budgeted in FY2013 for Account 4120-563309 (Future Water Supply) will not be expended and funds for the purchase can be transferred to Capital Outlay account 4101-564302 (Physical Environment). OPTIONS: Approve or Deny RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS staff request BCC approval to authorize County staff to advertise, accept bids and transfer funds for the purchase of a new Derrick/Boom Truck.
